SWISS CHARD FRITTATA

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

24 cherry tomatoes
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon light-brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
18 large eggs
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large white onions, halved and sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
6 to 8 ounces Swiss chard, stems sliced thin, leaves sliced into ribbons
3/4 cup cow's milk feta, crumbled

Steps:

  • Tomatoes: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a 9-inch pie plate, place tomatoes and garlic cloves. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, thyme, light-brown sugar, and salt. Drizzle over tomatoes and garlic and bake in the oven until tomatoes are wilted and caramelized, 40 to 45 minutes. Set aside.
  • Frittata: Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees, with the rack in the upper third of the oven. Lightly beat eggs in a large bowl with a whisk. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add the stems of the chard; cook until tender, 3 minutes. Add the chard leaves and stir to combine. Cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Pour egg mixture into skillet. Cook, using a heatproof spatula to gently stir and push eggs from edges to center of pan so runny parts run underneath, until eggs begin to set, about 2 minutes.
  • Scatter cooked tomatoes on top of the frittata and evenly distribute feta cheese on top. Transfer frittata to oven and cook until top is set and has puffed slightly, about 15 minutes.
  • Gently run a spatula around the edges and underneath the frittata and carefully slide out of the pan onto a cutting board. Slice into wedges and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

CHARD FRITTATA



Chard Frittata image

Provided by Nancy Harmon Jenkins

Categories     breakfast, main course

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds chard, preferably green and red, mixed
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup minced shallots or onions
5 eggs
4 tablespoons light cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup cubed Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Wash the chard thoroughly; put in a large kettle and steam over medium heat in the water that clings to the leaves. Cover pot while steaming. When chard is tender, after about 10 minutes, drain, reserving liquid for another use, like making a broth, and coarsely chop the tender leaves.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Put the butter and oil in a saute pan, a straight-sided quiche pan or a shallow baking dish that can go in the oven. When the butter has melted and the foam begins to subside, add the minced shallots and saute briefly until they are translucent but not brown. Add chopped chard and mix well. Remove from heat.
  • In a bowl combine eggs, cream, salt and pepper and beat thoroughly. Pour this batter over the chard, lifting edges of the chard with a fork to let batter run underneath. Dot the top with cheese cubes and put in middle of oven. Bake 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Remove and let cool slightly. To serve, cut into squares or wedges.

BAKED FRITTATA WITH YOGURT, CHARD AND GREEN GARLIC



Baked Frittata With Yogurt, Chard and Green Garlic image

Inspired by the signature Provençal chard omelet called truccha, this beautiful baked frittata incorporates thick Greek yogurt and lots of green garlic. It will puff up in the oven, but then it settles back down. Use a generous bunch of chard for this - green, red or rainbow - and save the stalks to use in the chard stalk and chickpea purée that I'm also posting this week. I like to serve the frittata at room temperature, or I grab a cold slice for lunch. It's a wonderfully portable dish. The filling can be prepared through Step 4 up to 3 days ahead. The frittata keeps well for 2 or 3 days in the refrigerator.

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, main course

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 generous bunch Swiss chard (1 to 1 1/4 pounds with stems), either green, rainbow or red
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 bulb green garlic, papery shells removed, chopped
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
6 eggs
2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt or drained yogurt (2 percent or whole milk)
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • Strip chard leaves from stems. Wash both leaves and stems thoroughly. Set aside stems for another purpose. You should have about 6 cups leaves, tightly packed.
  • Add a generous amount of salt and the greens to the boiling water. Blanch greens for about 1 minute, until tender, and transfer to a bowl of cold water. Drain and take up chard by the handful to squeeze out excess water. Chop medium-fine. You should have about 1 1/2 cups chopped chard.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a heavy skillet and add green garlic, thyme and rosemary. Add a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, until the garlic is fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chopped chard and cook, stirring, until ingredients are combined and greens are nicely coated with oil. Remove from heat.
  • Place remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a 2-quart gratin or baking dish, or in a 9-inch ovenproof skillet, and place in oven for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk eggs in a large bowl. Season with salt (about 1/2 teaspoon) and freshly ground pepper to taste. Whisk in yogurt. Stir in greens mixture.
  • Remove baking dish from the oven, brush sides with hot oil, and scrape in the egg mixture. Place in oven and bake 30 minutes, or until set and slightly puffed. Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm, room temperature or cold.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, tender chard: Look for brightly colored leaves with crisp stems. Avoid any wilted or yellowing leaves.
  • Wash the chard thoroughly: Chard can be gritty, so be sure to rinse it well before using.
  • Remove the tough stems from the chard: The stems are edible, but they can be tough and fibrous. Simply slice them off before cooking.
  • Cook the chard until it is wilted: This will take about 5 minutes. Overcooking will make the chard tough.
  • Use a nonstick skillet: This will help prevent the frittata from sticking.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat: This will help it cook evenly without burning.
  • Don't overcook the frittata: The eggs should be set but still slightly runny in the center.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly before serving: This will help it hold its shape.

Conclusion:

A chard frittata is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is packed with nutrients and can be easily customized to your liking. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this frittata is a great option for a quick and healthy meal. Whether you are looking for a vegetarian main course or a flavorful side dish, this chard frittata is sure to please. So next time you have some fresh chard on hand, give this recipe a try!
